Newbie Here - 5th WI this week

Doing Slimming World

Have been browsing on here for weeks and thought I would come say hi & share my CD Story so far.

My Dr wouldnt sign off my form, as my BMI is over 40 which meant I had to start on the 1200 plan - not that I mind, I lost 7lbs in my first week, 5th WI in this week and I'm loving it. I view it as I'm re-educating myself about food and this is what I have been needing as I have now lost a stone already.

I love the shakes except Fruits of The Forest, Choc Orange & not a huge fan of the Strawb altho I do have it. I also love the Choc Tetra & Summer Berry Water Flavouring. I have tried some of the bars, but the Cranberry one gave me really bad wind & the choc one was too rich - not that I ever thought I'd say that seeing as I love, or should I say loved Boost Choc Bars! I do love Malt Toffee tho.

Somethings I have learnt so far - the 'Hinari Genie' blender I bought from Makro for approx £20 is the best ever - esp for Mix a Mousse, I measure out a bit under 150ml of normal water, then go and get about 6 icecubes and put them in the water - leave it for a few mins and then take them out & the water is really chilled. Meanwhile open your sachet & put a level spoonful of Mix A Mousse in it - shake, but often it doesnt shake that well so I mix it with a lil spoon. Blend it for approx 30 seconds (which is all you need in the Genie) then pour into a bowl. If I put it in our Fridge up here it doesnt set, but I put it in the one in the garage which is set realy cold and it sets like a lovely airy mousse.

Also, drink the water and tell yourself that you are doing your body the world of good - yeah it can taste bland, but we all need it.

Finally - this might be TMI but my periods have always been irregular, even more so as I gained weight and now I've got one which feels more heavy than usual? But I've seen I'm not the only one that gets this doing CD - is nice to share it with fellow peeps who might be in the same boat as me.

Hi Everyone - thought I would reply to this thread rather than start another - went for my 5th WI just over an hour ago and have lost 5lbs in a week!
Talk about happy - I'm now also loving the inches going down properly now! Made my CDC very very proud of me - long may it continue I say.

I got married in November 2010 & want to be a gorgeous slim Wife next to my slim Husband and be able to wear nice clothes for him too.

Previously done Cambridge Plan in 2009 but missed eating so now I'm re-educating my eating habits as of January 2011.​
